Preschool P.A.L.S. for Ages 4-5
Come play and learn through song in Preschool PALS! This program utilizes music and movement to foster development of the whole child. By providing a multi-sensory environment, students develop emotionally, socially, physically and cognitively. Many parents choose this program over a standard preschool environment to prepare their children for kindergarten.
Because we seek to develop the whole child, traditional preschool classroom elements are often woven into our activities (story, art, fine motor skills, free play). Many parents therefore choose this program over a standard, licensed preschool. Input from Elco kindergarten teachers helps supplement our musical play with cognitive goals to enrich our environment.
PLEASE NOTE: WE CANNOT SERVE STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL OR BEHAVIORAL NEEDS. We serve children who can function independently within a class setting. This is simply because we have neither the staffing, training nor space to provide one-on-one guidance for any student. We also prioritize safety of the entire group over an individual child's particular needs.
​
We run a Christian program, meaning a biblical worldview guides our teaching philosophy. All staff have completed proper background checks and are believers serving Jesus in their own churches. Our child/staff ratio of 5:1 ensures that pupils are given individual attention!
